DFG SPP 1748 - Zuverlässige Simulationstechniken in der Festkörpermechanik - Entwicklung nicht konventioneller Diskretisierungsverfahren, mechanische und mathematische Analyse

Zuverlässigkeit effizienter Approximationen von Funktionen beschränkter Variation in der Beschreibung von Materialunstetigkeiten

Dieses Projekt wird von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) innerhalb des Schwerpunktprogramms "DFG SPP 1748 - Zuverlässige Simulationstechniken in der Festkörpermechanik" finanziell unterstützt. Der Förderungszeitraum läuft von Juli 2018 bis Dezember 2020.

Hintergrund

Funktionen beschränkter Variation bieten einen attraktiven Rahmen, um Materialunstetigkeiten wie Schädigung oder Risse zu beschreiben. In der jüngsten Vergangenheit wurden geeignete Lösungsformulierungen und Existenztheorien für entsprechende Evolutionsmodelle begründet. Dazu wurden numerische Methoden für die Diskretisierung und das iterative Lösen variationeller Probleme, die die Totalvariationsnorm beinhalten, entwickelt und analysiert.

Projektbezogene Vorarbeit

In einer ersten Förderungs­phase wurden abstrakte Existenz­resultate, gekoppelte raten-abhängige/raten-unabhängige Systeme, Delaminierungs­prozesse in Visko­elastodynamik, und Phasenfeld-Beschreibungen von Schädigungs­evolutionen analytisch untersucht.

Algorithmische Beiträge zur iterativen Lösung von Modellproblemen von Funktionen beschränkter Variation, zur adaptiven Approximation von unstetigen Funktionen, basierend auf berechenbaren a posteriori Fehler­abschätzungen, und für die konvergente finite Elemente Simulation eines BV-regularisierten Schädigungsmodells wurden geleistet.

Ziele

Das Vorhaben ist, diese Ergebnisse zu kombinieren, zu verfeinern und auf komplexe Schadens- und Rissmodelle zu erweitern. Die anvisierten Modelle sollen Material­unstetigkeiten entweder direkt in BV oder als Skalierungs­grenzwert erfassen.

Geplant ist die Herleitung von a priori und a posteriori Fehler­abschätzungen, und die Entwicklung adaptiver Approximations­schemata unter Berücksichtigung der Existenztheorie und Gamma-Konvergenz. Diese sollen implementiert und auf spezifische Benchmark-Probleme in der Mechanik angewendet werden. Besonderes Augenmerk wird dabei auf die Zuverlässigkeit von effizienten Methoden gelegt, z.B. die Konvergenz von geeigneten Zeit­diskretisierungs­verfahren und adaptiven Approximations­schemata unter Ausnutzung der Existenztheorie und Gamma-Konvergenz.
